How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following: Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal
information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem? Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has
the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours? Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat
fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case? City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

What are your fees and costs?

What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state

Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.

Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
